Eliminate offshore tax abuse to reduce extreme income and wealth inequality.
Tax evasion is the major cause of poverty as it takes money out of circulation. Evaders continue to use our services whilst not contributing to the costs.
The six richest people on Earth now own more wealth than the bottom half of the world’s population – 3.7 billion people. Further, the top 1% now have more money than the bottom 99%. Meanwhile, as the billionaires flaunt their opulence, nearly one in seven people struggle to survive on less than $1.25 (90p) a day and – horrifyingly – some 29,000 children die daily from entirely preventable causes such as diarrhoea, malaria and pneumonia.
